The missionaries were asked to be in by 7 on New Year's Eve,
so Sister L. and I watched Mr. Kruger's Christmas, had some treats, and went
to bed at 10:30. We set an alarm for 11:58 so that we could be awake for the
new year... we heard it at 12:22. I think we wished each other a happy new year
before we went back to sleep. :) A couple that we've been teaching took us to
an Asian buffet, so I had frog legs, squid tentacle, and sushi for lunch. Best
new year yet!
Thursday was an awesome day for us! Maybe it's because in
the morning we brushed off 4-5 inches of snow off of every car in the parking
lot. :) We reached almost every goal and found a deaf couple to teach. We
actually met him once before Christmas and left a copy of The Book of Mormon
with him. He read 11 pages of every book since he got it! They read our lips
and talk pretty clearly, so communication isn't too tricky. They're very
interested and we're excited to teach them.
One investigator we have decided last Friday to quit
smoking. She has been anxious to stop, but is finding it to be harder than
she'd expected. Please keep her in your prayers. She wants to come to church
and be baptized. With her faith she can make it, but she needs a little boost.
I love her very much and I know that she can do it if she will rely on Jesus
Christ and His Atonement.
Well, transfers are this Thursday. I'm pretty nervous. I
don't feel like I'm going anywhere, but Sister L. has been here for 8 months.
No one thinks she's staying. What am I going to do without her?! I know it will
work out the way it's supposed to, so I'm trying not to worry too much. At
least I know that I won't be training anyone. Whew!
Life is wonderful! Thank you for the prayers. Believe me
when I say that I need them! I know that no matter what happens, the Savior
will be my anchor through thick and thin, through 65 degree weather or -30
degree weather (which is what it is with windchill right now). Talk to y'all
next week!
